1v1, a sweet romance where every page is sugary. The male lead is aloof and cold at first, but turns clingy later. The female lead is cheerful, lively, and upbeat.
Transmigrating into an angsty novel as a stand-in bride, Xu Zhaozhao has barely opened her eyes before she is sent to the Prince Jing residence, a place said to devour people without leaving a trace. Rumor has it that the cold-faced prince is moody and unpredictable, and that no concubine he marries survives more than three months. The face beneath his mask is said to be terrifying beyond words.
But what happened to the promised violence and volatility? Why does this man spend every day holding her close and nuzzling her neck, resting his chin on her head as he chuckles, “Don’t pull away”? He climbs through her window in the middle of the night and crawls into her bed. Even with a fever, he stubbornly insists, “Your body heat... can suppress the cold poison.”
Xu Zhaozhao can only stare in speechless disbelief. Has he mistaken her for a human hot-water bottle? It isn’t until his mask accidentally falls off and she catches sight of those phoenix eyes concealing a dark current that she realizes the price of being fixated on by a paranoid emperor: she must drag him out of the darkness and warm this thousand-year-old iceberg with her goofy affection.
When the cold-faced tyrant turns into a jealous man who sees a rival in everyone; when the murderous, unhinged prince tearfully begs her to pat his head. Xu Zhaozhao raises an eyebrow as she gnaws on a chicken leg. First tame the tyrant, then lure him onto the throne and turn him into a devoted husband. This level is in the bag!
